POLITICS OR DIPLOMACY
Joseph Chamberlain IS here again. but not 10 tarry
long To-day he Will start for the land OF blue noses
and frost bres But for him the frigd air Of Canada
Will be tempered by the warm hospitality Of Lord
Lansdowne, which Mr.. Chamberlain will enjoy at
Rideau Hall, Ottawa

has lost any OF that charming courtesy and genlality
Of manner which won tho regard of newspaper men
who met him when he first landed on these shores,
and made them, I'm seeking comparisons, bracket his
